    SOLVED Paragon - Works with Battery, but not Power Supply

    Oh wow, that makes complete sense. I was operating under the incorrect assumption that those positive posts were basically interchangeable. Thanks so much @spi and @carlinb17 ! I'll swap those connections out and confirm when resolved.

    SOLVED Paragon - Works with Battery, but not Power Supply

    Hey folks! I just built a Paragon and everything works when it's on battery power, but nothing works when trying to run on power supply (it does pass signal when neither side is engaged with power supply plugged in). If I plug the power supply in while the battery is in, it will immediately...

    Paragon Component Questions

    Hello, I'm putting together a Tayda order so I can build a Paragon. I think I have found most of what I need, but I had a few questions. For the 100 pF Ceramic Caps, I was going to order Ceramic Disc caps, but would it be better to use the Multilayer Monolithic Ceramic Caps? For the IC's, I...

    SOLVED Muffin Fuzz - No guitar signal passes when bypassed or when engaged

    Wow I feel silly. It was definitely the input jack touching the enclosure somewhere. After removing the jack from the enclosure and getting guitar signal, I did a more thorough job of insulating the problem areas with some bits of paper. The pedal now works great. Thanks again to everyone for...

    SOLVED Muffin Fuzz - No guitar signal passes when bypassed or when engaged

    The LED does work. I just doublechecked and the negative power jack lug (the bigger L shaped one) is wired to the negative pad.

    SOLVED Muffin Fuzz - No guitar signal passes when bypassed or when engaged

    No guitar signal in bypass or when engaged 😟 Turning up the knobs when engaged does add gain/volume to the hiss, but there's still no guitar signal coming through.

    SOLVED Muffin Fuzz - No guitar signal passes when bypassed or when engaged

    Dang it looked like that was really the problem. I slid some small pieces of paper between the jack and the enclosure and also between the jack and the power supply nut. Unfortunately that didn't fix the issue. I may need to redo some of the wiring connecting the jack to the PCB/footswitch.

    SOLVED Muffin Fuzz - No guitar signal passes when bypassed or when engaged

    Hello! I just built a Muffin Fuzz, and no guitar signal will pass in bypass or when the pedal is engaged. When I engage the pedal, the LED turns on, and if I crank the Volume and Gain, I can hear the non-signal, hissing white noise (no guitar) intensify. The Tone knob affects that sound too...
